Has CG gone to the crapper?

[Mick]

which of course, is because of the reputation thing. people love seing green,

especially light green...the more the better...unfortunatelly

EDIT: and yes, i fully agree that the quality of topics has significantly decreased. i

remember great discussions involving Gabriel Fleseriu, Andreas Masur, just to name a

few.

Hush hush
keep it down now

May be the quality to you looks low because you have had your own

knowledge standards uplifted!

Time to share more to us!

//Quality is a relative term.. not relative to time only but relation to individuals

The true is I don't know General downtick as I left, I haven't come here often at all.

Like I said...A troll But, I do have to say that Brad didn't let the moderators moderate

and he never listened to what anyone said. Period. Nothing, what was the point?

Well, let's not jump to conclusions.

Even thoughts. But, come one now, in our hayday? *lol* yves...don't be sad

If they were here when there was no reputation system, then why would they

care if this system was introduced.

Kirants, given that I was a person that heavily 'rated' you early on , did you not see the

rush to post the same thing over and over in the same thread? Are we not technical here? Why

do I have to go thru twenty fraeking posts about the same thing when reading a thread? come

on, you see this?

My another question is why don't people directly confront the bad posts right in where they

are in the threads?

Ya, well some moderators *cough, cough* tried that and got called out for it.

I
I guess for me thinks were just not a fun once Xeon, Mick and Galatheae left. I didn't know

Andreas had left as well. I think that there is no question that the quality of the

discussions has degraded. There are some exceptions in the non-visual C++ forum.

v
Ya, well we miss you, and your little dog too!!!

Hi Mick, you are alive? Many people here (downhill or uphill) thought you

are dead since about one year.

I heard that one myself, ovidiucucu. Hell, I even thought I was dead 'til I found out it was

just that I was in Nebraska. --The Unforgiven.

From Ovidi Kuku(the bird):
Let's all boycott CodeGuru and march on to CodeProject! Our new future is

there!
(CodeProject is even regularly giving free cool t-shirts and mugs away because they cherish

their members!)

Good day,
Xeon.

Sorry, fark codeproject, bunch of non-coders Stay here, lets fix this thing.

Really?
Remember when Mick "retired" he had one of the best reputation place and a signature

including something like "please, please, don't forget to rate my post!" .
Come on, let's be honest!

*lol* you are confusing me with someone else. I never had the 'please please rate me sig'.

BTW, weren't you part of the romanian group along with CIlU that we busted for cross-rating?

Thought so? Should I write a tell all about that? Shh...it's a mod secret.

I apologize Yves. As you kow you are one of the people I truly respec. I

jus had a hard time listening to mick take this crap.

*lol* what did I miss? *lol* come now, this is heavy sarcasm here, why are you guys farking

with me? Souldog definding me *lol*

[Mick]

Really? Interesting to know, since Mick was in top three of most reputed people

when he "retired".

Acutally, I was #1 and it pisses me off

It looks like it is more of encapsulation at moderator levels.. that I guess we commoners don't have a clue... No meaningful discussion can happen here with us coz of that... It's better you guys discuss amongst yourselves... Don't know how open things can be but without that its meaningless debating with us... we don't have a say coz we don't have a clue

The point is more than just reps and ads!

Let me give you a Cilu See early on, there were karma dumpers, the romanians. Ovi, cilu, etc...all from the same IP,/Company. Had to ban three of them, but those three provided me with a negative rate dump, so I could positive the real contributors...So eh...What's that guys, oh, you didn't know them *lol*. Ya, ratings...moderators...ya...G's up...right?

Or was it a sixer? You guys had a good round-robin...six up, six down. You know the score.

So, ratings, what?

[Yves M]

Well, the fact that we didn't agree on some issues doesn't mean I hated you

About the rep system, I have to say that my opinion has changed and that in the beginning I thought it was a nice gadget. Probably a bit naive, because I had never used a forum with rep points before. Now I don't see any use in it anymore. I still don't think it's bad or that it degrades the quality of CG, it's just not useful.

Ups: sorry for posting after it had been closed.

What the hack are you talking about? You should be careful with what you are saying. I never used multiple IDs, 'cilu' is the only usename I have created at CG. Moreover, I'm very positive that I never rated you negatively. So, don't post false things.

EDIT: for some reason, the link above no longer exists or was deleted.

this is what it contained:

you shouldn't be picking at people's nationality though - it's weak. pick at them instead if you need to. yeah, i'm romanian too. i didn't say nothing about americans or any other nationality for that matter. don't generalize, keep it personal.

Was that a link or from you Alin?

[Mick]

I want to say also, if you are offended, stop reading...go away...


Otherwise, lets talk.

[Alin]

yeah, it was a link to one of my post as a reply to one of yours. since i couldn't reply in this thread, i replied to one of the other posts of yours, but they are now deleted it seems, thus making my link invalid.
